Sleepless nights I wake up often No reason to be seen It just happens I wake up in darkness No sight to use I feel panic rise I know this experience well I wake up in fear The darkness scares What could be there, Scare me the most I never got over it The fear of darkness The fear of what could be The uncertainty of it all Take deep breaths Pull the sheets up Cover my face and head Keep feet unexposed It doesn't help usually Turn a light on Make sure door is shut tight Turn TV on for sound Fall asleep Wake up Turn off light and TV Go back to sleep. The cycle starts again Initially asleep Wake up Fear
